Yes — Flavored Soft Drink is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is an ultra-processed flavored soft drink. Natural flavour is an extracted additive and is classified as UPF. Preservative E211 (sodium benzoate) and color E110 (Sunset Yellow) are industrial additives characteristic of ultra-processed formulations. Carbonated water, sugar, and citric acid alone would not make it UPF, but the flavoring and additives do.
